Apart from being the name of a British post punk band and a line of poetry in Milton’s Samson Agonistes, Eyeless in Gaza is a 1936 novel by Aldous Huxley .

In the most notorious passage of Huxley’s novel a live dog is dropped from an airplane and hits the flat rooftop where Anthony and his partner Helen are lying naked in the sun. It bursts spraying them with its blood. –Cedric Watts via 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die (2006) – Peter Dr Boxall
